Brighton rocks

Alan and I are heading to the Labour Party Conference down in Brighton tomorrow for a week of debate, discussion and dialogue. Should be a great week - Alan is doing a really good fringe meeting with Robin Cook on the where next for the Labour Party which will be interesting.

He's also doing an 'In Conversation' with The Telegraph and a few media interviews. This is alongside his work on the NEC and important policy-making stuff.

I can honestly say I have never worked so hard on anything - the Conference Diary is a truly momentous piece of work and I just hope everything hangs together.

Meanwhile in Darlington, Alan is here on Friday straight from Conference - he is doing a tour of the new site at Morton Palms and meeting the staff up there. By the way, we're planning an Annual Lecture for the town, hosted by Alan, at which Trevor Phillips, head of the CRE, will speak. This will be a great event as Trevor has had a lot of very interesting things to say recently about immigration.
The event is on November 18th - keep reading for more details.

I will try to let you know how conference is going and what Alan is up to. Should be a good week!
